A Filmmaker's Review: "Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution" (BBC, 2005)
A documentary created by the BBC to showcase the lives of the survivors of the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was first broadcast in 2005 and is now available on Netflix and other sites to view. It is a six-part documentary series that concentrates on the formation, building, usage and realisation of the Auschwitz death camp and from the survivors telling their tales of pain and torment to an surviving SS Officer who is haunted by his own ignorance and even to love stories which evolved between prisoner and officer in the death camp - this documentary shows us the interior of Auschwitz like we have never seen before. I bet they did not teach you about any of this stuff in school. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

A Filmmaker’s Review: The Confession Killer (Netflix, 2019)
“The Confession Killer” is a show about a serial killer whom we all know very well as being one of the most prolific killers in American History - Henry Lee Lucas. The question explored in this documentary is whether he was actually as prolific as he was made out to be. Confessing to over 200 murders and only having evidence of murdering under 10 people, this documentary seeks to clear up all the strangeness with the case that surrounded him. If you’ve paid attention to the Henry Lee Lucas case, you’ll notice that there was a big deal surrounding whether he was coaxed into confessing these random murders that kept appearing even though it was proven that when the murders happened, he must have been thousands of miles away. Various tickets from gas stations halfway across the country solidify the statement that Henry Lee Lucas probably didn’t kill most of these people at all. The documentary itself is filmed brilliantly. Alongside people who were actually at the case and hearings, people who worked on the prosecution, people who worked on the defence, people who released the story and even the DA who forced an investigation into the Texas Rangers only to get his ass handed to him in despair. This documentary turns over every single stone possible and shows us that not every law enforcement officer is there to look out for us. Some of them just want to close their open cases and be the hero of their time - at whatever cost necessary.

Unorthodox: A Miniseries on Netflix
A friend of mine recommended a mini tv series called Unorthodox on Netflix. Just when I was thinking I had run out of things to watch this tv series came my way. I needed something interesting to occupy my free time and this popular series hooked me immediately because it is based on truth.

My Review of "2 Minutes of Fame"
2 Minutes of Fame came out all of a sudden without too much advertisement. Then again a lot of Netflix exclusives come out like this so I'm not too surprised. It's a welcome addition to the Netflix library in this time of quarantine. It stars a lot of funny people so I expected it to be funny.
